AI quoting for auto mechanics.
Auto repair shops-grade AI quoting, shipped by people who've done it before.
Reminders timed to each car's WoF, which from 1 November 2026 moves to every two years for many 4 to 14 year old vehicles.
Definitely not a typical AI agency.
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.
How Kiwi Dynamics works
We find the one workflow costing auto repair shops the most hours, ship a working slice into production in weeks, prove it pays for itself, then harden it and hand it over.
Knows the New Zealand rules.
Quotes drafted from your price list with GST at 15 per cent shown correctly, so the customer gets a number while they still care.
- GST at 15 per cent
- WoF rules change November 2026
- Job management built in New Zealand
Small crew or big organisation, the busywork is the same :)
Quotes with GST, consent paperwork, LBP records and health and safety logs: the admin every New Zealand trade business carries.
*Illustrative example based on nine hours a week of admin. Actual results vary by workflow and business.
One workflow.
In production.
In weeks.

The two or three things that decide whether this works for auto repair shops.
Mechanics quote from underneath a car and answer the phone from underneath a car, and one of those always loses.
Booking, quoting, and parts follow-up are the admin layer that decides how many cars a workshop can turn over in a week.
Questions auto repair shops ask
Anyone else in this space using AI quoting?
Plenty. Quote turnaround drops from days to under an hour. The interesting question is rarely "does it work" - it's "is your team ready to use the output." That's what we'd scope on the call.
What happens if we want to swap a vendor out later?
AI quoting is built behind a small adapter layer specifically so swapping a model provider or a data source is a one-day job, not a re-architecture. Claude Vision, Whisper, Xero, Vercel are our defaults, but the build is intentionally portable.
What's the realistic timeline for AI quoting with an auto repair shop?
Most auto repair shops have their first usable slice in week 5 or 6. We'd rather ship narrow and real than broad and aspirational - your team gets to use the thing well before the engagement is "done".
Can it remind us about the annual return?
Yes. Every company must file an annual return with the Companies Office each year, separate from its tax return.
Can it keep track of ACC levies?
Yes. ACC work levies are set by the classification unit your work falls under, and self-employed people are invoiced after filing their tax return.
